    I've had a quick look through the forum and found that [@zoe2312]‍ was diagnosed with this a few years ago. She said in one of her posts last year to get in touch if anyone is in a similar situation so although she hasn't been on in a little while I'm hoping she'll see I've mentioned her in this post and pop back to offer her support and advice.

    [@Only19]‍ found out they have they BRCA2 gene a few months ago as well. 

    If you'd like to talk this through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps and I wish you all the best with your mastectomy.

    Kind regards,
